Lord of grease

A nice column by Georg Seesslen about middle class values, the semiotics of KT Guttenberg's hair and the gel keeping this hair in place and order. German conservatism sees "the Baron" as its Kwisatz Haderach (you can basically see the curtsies and erect nipples when CSU members of any gender speak about him), and thus a closer look at his appearance appears necessary - although the results are not altogether surprising.
